Um....no it wasn't. If you actually bothered to check the protocols for her free program at 2008 Worlds instead of making numbers up, Mao had 60.57 PCS and 61.89 TES--I don't know about you, but 60.57 is definitely LOWER than 61.89.

Oh, my mistake. I meant to say Mao crashing into the board and couldn't perform for 10 secs had higher PCS than Yuna who popped one jump and no fall. Yuna's TES: 64.82, PCS: 58.56.

Thanks - so it may have been a little short but I dont think it was anywhere near 90 degress under.

The truth is I hate some of these tight calls........and wonder why the most spectacular jumping pass in the history of Ladies skating is being overly scrutinized.

No wonder so many girls look like a nervous wreck.

I think many of the discussions going on here prove that COP is a horrid tool... Yeah; neurotic, nervous wrecks, no one consistent, no stars (only stars that get downgraded by evil tech callers ... wasn't COP supposed to put an end to all that discussion about favoritism?)... If you read this thread you'll see it all.

Anyway; twitter from Ashley: "Note to self: skating cautiously leads to mediocrity."
Dear Ashley, you are far from mediocre, it wasn't your best skate just as it wasn't your worst. Go for it tomorrow!

I hope someone will put her SP at youtube... I'd like to know if she got dinged for more than a two-foot and a wrong edge... It's silly how we can't make sense of figure skating without a long list of unreadable protocols. Sighs.

LOL. Perhaps. Come on, everyone knows that Yuna did not deserve
level 1 on her step sequence. Until that "e"' call, Yuna always received positive GOE on her flip, and now her 3T is UR. What's next? Yuna's 2A is UR???
